Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is essentially a "new" organ created from Balcom and Vaughan's opus 821, built in 1976 for 15th Church of Christ, Scientist in Seattle, WA. That organ was III-manuals, 19 independent registers, 53 speaking stops, 21 ranks, and 1,391 pipes. For the Bellingham rebuild, all of the 15th C.S. chests were retained and refurbished as were all 21 ranks. First Baptist's existing II-manual console was retained, and a handful of original Kimball stopped wood pipes from the previous instrument were incorporated into the present instrument.
